No problems at all.
Strictly speaking, if you install the 3.1.2E server, you're supposed to install the 3.1.2D libs as well - 3.1.2D was a complete replacement for 3.1.2, and 3.1.2E is supposed to be a drop-in server replacement for the 3.1.2D server when it expired. That's what I'm carping on about. :-) -- I'm on a low-fat, high stress diet: coffee and fingernails.
